Amazing! Bobby for the win! - Our first white water rafting trip in the PNW with Wet Planet was an incredible experience! Bobby was an amazing guide — knowledgeable, entertaining, and kept us laughing the entire trip while making us feel safe on the water. One thing I’d love to see added is a way to tip guides directly through the website. I ended up tracking Bobby down on Venmo because he absolutely deserved it, and I think your guides should have an easy opportunity to receive tips online. We’ll definitely be back!

Dalton and Thomas were... - Dalton and Thomas were fantastic. They were incredibly funny, friendly, and knowledgeable. My friend, who doesn’t know how to swim, had a wonderful time with them. They made the experience enjoyable, fun, and safe.

Did half day trip. Was an amazing time. - This was awesome! I have always wanted to white water raft, the chance came up and I did it. The staff here were excellent. The rapids were incredible, especially the last one. Our guide, Bobby was very entertaining and was awesome guiding our raft. I will never forget this experience. If you are thinking about going white water rafting near Portland, I highly recommend this company. Thank you, Wet Planet Rafting for a most excellent day.

Oh Heck Yeah! - I was pretty nervous leading up to our event but the intro/safety pitches by Steve before we launched calmed my head 100%. Derek took us from there and was FANTASTIC. He had the knowledge, skills, sense of humor, and care to make our experience exceptional. The ratio of white water to quiet float time was spot on. I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day-thank you!!

great day on the river - we had a fantastic experience with Wet Planet! our guide Derrick made us feel comfortable, capable and made sure everyone was safe and had a great time. There was plenty of downtime to float and enjoy the scenery between rapids and the paddling is not so challenging that it takes away the fun of the experience. Expect a 15 min hike along the river mid way through the trip - cold feet and wet booties make it a bit more of a challenge to navigate the uneven terrain. The gear was comfortable and kept us plenty warm, there are extra layers if you need them and the guides get you outfitted effortlessly. Expect to get wet and be submerged for the final drop at Husum falls - it’s optional but totally worth it. The photos came out great - be sure to tip your guide and the photographer! We were thrilled with the whole experience!

Dalton is a boss. - Had an amazing float with Dalton! Always wanted to go over Husum Falls and Dalton absolutely cleaned it. Wet Planet has been a great resource for me over the years... I did my swiftwater rescue certification through them as well, and they're always kind, knowledgable and just generally a blast to work with. Request Dalton for your next trip, and bonus: he's got all the bird facts you'd ever need.

Durham Rocks! - Fabulous experience. Our guide Durham Jacklin rocks! So fun, personable, and quick witted. He raised the energy and excitement (spicy 5!!!). Bones to you, Durham. :) You made the experience. Glad we did the waterfall at the end. Cheers to Wet Planet. We did agree to go a little later, which impacted our plans a bit. Would have been nice to offer a free photo.

Good times and big smiles on the White Salmon - What an amazing day we had on the beautiful White Salmon River! We went with the whole family and it was our grandsons' first ever white water rafting experience, one I am sure they will cherish for the rest of their lives. The Wet Planet crew were so friendly and professional and our guide Toto was absolutely superb, good timers and big smiles on the riverr!
